Our Community Norms
1. This is a community diary. It includes both men and women, it includes people with disabilities, people of color, and people with different ethnicities and sexual orientations. Before you post a photo or make a joke, please consider if it is offensive to one of the other community members. If you make a mistake, apologize. We are progressives and we forgive.
2. This is a DKos Snecking Community™. This means that we celebrate every 100th comment (#c100, #c200, etc) and the run-up to said comment and the failure to snare said comment ("hairball" or "harbl"). Hedwig says "First rule of Sneck: No Rules". But please watch out that you don't knock over the folks too slow to get out of the way!
3. This is a place to have fun and enjoy each other's company. It is a place to promote diaries. It is a place to share our joys and our sorrows. It is YOUR place. When you have a problem with this place, please contact one of the Admins about your concerns. The airing of grievances against a community member, either a J Town community member or someone from the Greater Orange Satan, should not be done publicly.
4. Each day in J Town starts as something new. It is, quite literally, what you make it.
Thank you for your time. Carry on ... but don't become carrion.
* Subject to revisions of both an arbitrary and capricious nature.

Nurse Kelley Shares Her Cursing Tree with J Town
Because sometimes it feels good to simply curse the unfairness of it all.
Cursing Tree Instructions: "I stand very close to the trunk and, depending on my need, I might yell at it, kick it, heave curses at it, look up through the branches and curse the universe, or just stand there and cry. When it was obvious exmearden was suffering and would die soon, I even beat it with my fists." ~ Nurse Kelley
“Life. Optimism. The future of us. Smooth the waters of the past, so that we can push out into the waves a bit further, for a little longer. Pull who we love and what we love close to us, around us like a warm blanket, which gives us comfort and lends a strength we may not see inside ourselves. Underpin our days with caring and contact and not isolation and fear.”
~ Kris Froland (exmearden)
